  • Program Management 2010: A study of program management in the U.S. Federal Government

    Project Management Institute (PMI)

    In early 2010, the Project Management Institute (PMI) designed and executed a study of “successful” U.S. Federal Government programs to uncover thematic “success factors” and delve into the specific practices that support these factors.

    PMI worked with a team of subject matter expert volunteers from Accenture - Defense Industry Group (Ian S. Fogarty), Booz Allen Hamilton (Dr. Al Zeitoun), and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) - Washington Federal Practice (Scott Fass, John D. Ready, Stacy…

    In early 2010, the Project Management Institute (PMI) designed and executed a study of “successful” U.S. Federal Government programs to uncover thematic “success factors” and delve into the specific practices that support these factors.

    PMI worked with a team of subject matter expert volunteers from Accenture - Defense Industry Group (Ian S. Fogarty), Booz Allen Hamilton (Dr. Al Zeitoun), and PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (PwC) - Washington Federal Practice (Scott Fass, John D. Ready, Stacy McAlpine, and Nicholas A. DeBenedetto), to design and conduct a web-based survey and in-depth interviews with program managers and senior-level program sponsors.

    The ultimate goals of this effort are to share the insights we learn and spread the use of best practices throughout the government.

    In all, the study collected information from forty different programs across a wide variety of government agencies, including the Department of State, Department of Defense, U.S. Census Bureau, U.S. Coast Guard, Federal Highway Administration, Federal Aviation Administration, and the U.S. Navy Systems Command.

    The study programs spanned from information technology (software design and systems implementations), to construction and engineering (from a single facility build out to large infrastructure projects), to the creation of new public policies and departmental procedures. While some programs had a timeline of less than a year and a budget of around $1 million, others spanned over five years and had a budget of billions of dollars.
